Kitten Care - Helpful Hints
     

• Your first purchases to prepare for your new companion will be appropriate food and water dishes and a litter box. Dishes can be glass, stainless or food grade ceramic and need to be washed with dish soap and rinsed well once a day. Make sure that your Kitten always has fresh water. Your Kitten will receive a toy and a sampling of the dry Kitten food that he/she has been eating. Click HERE or additional information on food and water for your Kitten.

• There are many varieties of litter boxes to suit your space and color scheme. Higher sides or one with a cover works well to keep litter from scattering. There are also electric automatic litter boxes that do most of the cleaning for you – we have used these and have found them to be successful, however, we choose NOT to use clay Cat Litter. Please see the "Cat Health" page for more information on Cat Litter and how it may affect Cat Health. Over the years, our Cattery has tried every type of cat litter currently on the market and has found several types of litter to work the best for regular or automatic litter boxes. Corncob, Pine or Wheat clumping litter is safe for Kittens and Cats and functions extremely well. Click HERE for additional information on Cat Litter.

• Kittens like to play and Bengal Kittens love to play fetch. Provide them with safe cat toys purchased or home-made, but be careful of using string and yarn, as they can ingest it and then need veterinarian assistance.

• Provide your Kitten with a place to scratch. There are a variety of excellent options sold at Pet Stores made of carpeting or corrugated cardboard. This is a natural action that helps to remove the outer husk of their nails to allow the nail to grow. Keep your Kittens nails clipped monthly and they will have little need to scratch, but will sometimes use the scratching post or box just because of their instinct to maintain their own claws. Please see the "Cat Health" page to review "How to Clip a Cat’s Nails."
